Question

Which of the following is/are effect(s) of electric current?​

• A. Heating effect only​
• B. Magnetic effect only​
• C. Both heating and magnetic effect​
• D. Repelling effect​

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both heating and magnetic effect​

Electric current is the flow of electrons in an electric circuit. When the electrons flow in a circuit, they experience hindrance to their movement. This causes the electrons to produce some heat in the wire and it is called the heating effect of electric current.
A wire or a conductor carrying current develops a magnetic field. The direction of the magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of the flow of current. It is called the magnetic effect of current.
When we switch on a light bulb, it glows due to the heating effect of electric current, and when we turn the ceiling fan on, it rotates due to the magnetic effect of current.
